CLEAR TITLE in Hand
Needs Paint. I have reciepts for everything I've did to the car, currently tagged and driven. Excellent body (odometer reads 20,xxx miles) which I believe to be actual as the car is in great shape underneath, inside and out. Unknown mileage on engine but the guy I got it from is who built it and is VERY reputiable.
Consider Trades for X1/9, Corrado G60, XR4Ti, or other interesting somethings you don't see everyday that are in running condition.
email me for more info/pics.
Oh E36 M3.
Dan, how much are you wanting in terms of cash for this thing?
Trade more a MORE modded MX6 GT?

Ben, buy it before I have to explain to the wife why I have to go to West Virginia.
Man, that would look awesome in my garage. I hope it finds a good home.
Tom, you should buy it. Seriously. Really.
It would make life easier on me. I'm having a serious conundrum right now trying to figure out what to do. I can't just ADD another car, so one would have to go. The only one i "can" get rid of is the MX6, and i really can't decide if i would be able to swap an F2T MX6 for an F2T MX3.
Dan, how much boost is this thing pushing these days?

That's way too similar to my situation. The only "flexible" car in my fleet is the Turbo Miata, and I'm really trying to hold onto it. (SWMBO is ready to see it go away, my wallet agrees, but I'm not ready. Does that make her SWSBO?)
Seriously, good luck with the sale. I believe it's going to make a very nice car for somebody.
Dan, does the heat and all the little ancillaries work on this thing? (minus air conditioning i assume)

I hear you.... i also have.... 5 cars. And live in an apartment.
Yes, everything works on it. LIghts, heat, and even PS (made a new PS hose and workin the air out that got sucked in). I've put a lil over 3K miles on it and no real issues to speak of.
that turbo is still runnin 8-9 psi. Still gotta repair that manifold to turbo stud, but its soo fun to drive its hard to let it sit..lol

Ohhh... it's THAT stud. I didn't make the connection in your other thread, my apologies. (I may have missed a reply, i'll check it.)
Also possibly has a Colt Cam in it ;)

If so... i will give you a stock cam + $100 just for that.
lol... Rather see it all go together. how many inches of vac should a stock car with no vac leaks pull? this pulls 16-17"
Mine idles high because i've been too lazy to replace my coolant temp sensor on my throttle body. (Or just... you know... swap my other intake manifold over)
But i pull 20.5" at idle. (@ 1500rpms)
At normal idle, i'll see 19".
Basically, i see pretty far on both ends of the boost gauge.
While I would absoFOOTINlutely love this I just got stiffed on a $2500 payday. Man oh man that speaks to me.
Asking 3, but ill go lower or entertain trades Miata, xr4ti, corrado, x1/9, honda, ect
Entertain me with trades bump...
Only thing I have is a 97 ES300 and a 94 Probe GT, and guess which one I don't want to part with?
Love the car, though.
Bump... 2800 and I'll throw in a set of 15" steelies with Hankook Stickies on the front and Toyo RA-1's for the back... Anyone?
I can't believe no ones fist fighting over this :-/
To the Top Bump... i'll entertain trades... Civic, Delsol, VW Jetta/GTI/Corrado, XR4ti, Hell another Capri XR2... What ya got???
